Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote". West Edmonton or Calder was originally a village that was absorbed by the City of Edmonton on April 17, 1917.[6] Comprising one quarter section, it was incorporated as the Village of West Edmonton on July 6, 1910.[7] Within three years, the community was referred to as the Village of Calder.[8]
The former village was at the northeast corner of 127 Street and 127 Avenue[6] just north of the Hudson's Bay Company reserve lands. The Hudson's Bay Company, "hoping to benefit from rising real estate prices in pre World War I Edmonton, delayed the sale and development of about Script error: No such module "convert". of its reserve lands."[2]
The community owed its existence to the railway. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway located its roundhouse, repair shops and shunting yard near the site of the community.
The first permanent buildings in Calder were built in 1909.[2]
